LISTSERV DISCLAIMINERS, ETIQUETTE AND RULES
By joining and using APD’s e-mail list, it is understood that you agree to follow the rules and guidelines set for this peer discussion group (APD members in good standing are automatically included in the listserv as a membership benefit). You also agree to reserve list discussions for topics best suited to the medium. The APD Board of Directors has discontinued any editing or screening function for this list serve so it is understood that when APD members hit the “send” button the message will immediately be sent to colleagues.

As with any vehicle for communication, there must be guidelines for APD listserv use. For instance, violating antitrust regulations, libeling others, selling, and marketing are not permissible. Please take a moment to acquaint yourself with these important guidelines. If you have questions, contact the APD Office at admin@dermatologyprofessors.org. The APD reserves the right to suspend or terminate use of the listserv for members who violate these rules.
